Welsh Government are completely aware of the impact of underfunding our national cultural institutions for over a decade, yet don’t seem to care.
You can watch the debate I led on this matter before easter here: senedd.tv/Meeting/Clip/88f77…
While the Welsh Government continues to deny the serious challenges our national cultural institutions face, tonight, @Heledd_Plaid’s motion calling for their protection passed! 👏
🏴 Our national collections belong to everyone, they must be protected for the future!

Library Workers are some of the lowest paid council staff but have been asked to do more & more with less & less. They also face increasing levels of abuse/violence.
Since 2010 we’ve lost 12,000+ and can’t afford to lose anymore.
They need your support.

Ar #DiwrnodStaffLlyfrgelloedd, hoffwn ddiolch i’n holl staff am eu gwaith caled yn casglu, gwarchod a rhoi mynediad i'n treftadaeth i’r genedl.

On national #LibraryWorkersDay, we’d like to thank all of our staff for their hard work in collecting, preserving and providing access to our national heritage.

It’s not possible to overstate what a devastating impact the cuts by @WelshGovernment to culture and heritage is going to have on Wales. cutting specialist curators at national level, with no succession planning will effect every level of our museums.

Tra bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i wadu’r heriau difrifol mae’n sefydliadau diwylliannol cenedlaethol yn ei hwynebu, heno, fe basiwyd cynnig @Heledd_Plaid yn galw am eu diogelu! 👏
🏴 Mae’n casgliadau cenedlaethol yn perthyn i bawb, mae’n rhaid eu gwarchod ar gyfer y dyfodol!
Diolch am gychwyn y ddadl yma a thynnu sylw at y risgiau nawr ac yn yr hirdymor i’r casgliadau cenedlaethol yng ngoleuni’r toriadau dwfn i’n cyllid, sydd am arwain at golli sgiliau ac arbenigedd unigryw
#AchubEinTreftadaeth
Anaml iawn y byddaf yn gwylltio yn y Senedd, ond heddiw, roeddwn yn rhwystredig oherwydd bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i wadu yr heriau mae ein sefydliadau diwylliannol cenedlaethol yn ei hwynebu.
📺Gallwch wylio’r ddadl yn ôl yma: senedd.tv/Meeting/Clip/fa22f…
Thank you for instigating this debate and highlighting the immediate and long term risks to the national collections in light of the deep cuts to our funding, resulting in the loss of irreplaceable skills and expertise
#SaveWelshHeritage
I rarely get angry in the Senedd, but today, I did get frustrated by the Welsh Government’s continuous denial of the scale of the challenge faced by our national cultural institutions, and our national collections

Library service reductions backed by Pembrokeshire councillors
pembrokeshire-herald.com/904…
It isn’t ’reductions’ or ‘efficiencies’ or a ‘restructuring’ it’s CUTS

#doublespeak
ProspectLlGC retweeted
Not all library cuts are as sexy as closures.
Most services have been salami sliced over the years. A slow decline.
Stock budgets cut.
Opening hrs cut.
Staffing cut. Vacancies unfilled.
Specialist knowledge & collections lost.
Staff are told to hush things up.

“closing libraries. I find it a shocking, mean-spirited thing. What do libraries cost? Nothing. A few Barclay's bankers could support the whole library system. It's criminal. We could stop it but we need joint action.”

Just one example of the power of archives, a unique and powerful insight into post-WW2 life. But what happens to archives without the archivists? Please protect the historical and cultural legacy of our nation by signing today: petitions.senedd.wales/petit…

We call for a fair funding settlement to Local Government, for real reinvestment into local services, including libraries.
We urge the Chancellor to abandon short-termism and to invest in real opportunity and growth.
